rabidsquid posted:They could ban JTMS in Modern and it would be fine. Also they should unban Seat of the Synod. Anyone who agrees with either part of this has never played a format where either are legal. JtMS specifically is actually one of the most broken cards ever printed, and including it in modern would warp the format entirely. Like, JTMS is one of the most powerful legal cards in legacy Legalizing any artifact land would suddenly make affinity a broken deck as well.

Whoever decided flashback drafts shouldnt have swiss options should be shot. Like, why do you expect people to play formats they don't know, and that won't be around for more than a week, when they might only get to play a single game of them for 10$?

Sickening posted:Its not the same list because his sideboard is just b/w. The disruption seems to be IoK, TS, and Duress at least 2x each (though some of it is in sb). He also has 4x path and I think 2x Murderous Cut in main. He's also running Windbrisk Heights, and I think 4x Gideon instead of 2.

Until WOTC announces something official or calls your store specifically, Id honestly say just keep running poo poo as is. gently caress them, make them create an official 'we hate players' policy if they want to stop proxy NON SANCTIONED events. Forget their lovely intimidation tactic bullshit.

Lieutenant Centaur posted:I actually bought some of these 2 months ago based off an MTGLion video. The Chinese fakes are two things: Hilariously bad or perfect. Some cards are brighter on the back and feel like poo poo and some others you can't tell it's a fake. I just wanted to bring this back because in the time that I've been investigating chinese fakes (for real trying to find ways to identify them) I have still never seen one that isn't immediately obvious if you just pull out a loupe. This includes some of those fakes from a few months ago that people freaked out at a GP over. If you're ever really worried about fakes, grab a loupe off amazon (its like 10 bucks) and just look at the text on the card. Is it printed as a hard-edged layer of ink above the printing on the rest of the card? Congrats, it's real, and I've seen no evidence anywhere of a fake being able to come close to matching that.

I'm not saying OOB will be good, but oath is going to be more opened than those two sets combined. He also forgets expeditions exist, which means even in a set like BFZ where's there's one good mythic, it's going to be available at 20-25$ in a month or two even if there's 0 other money cards.

I'm actually far more interested in modern now that twin is banned than I have ever been. Grixis control is a fantastic deck in modern, it didn't need an "oops I won" factor on top of the best control shell in the format.

I actually had a conversation today with a real life "Reserved list is good", "Expensive modern is good" opinion-haver today. It was like talking to somebody from Mars - his argument was "You get into these formats the same way I did, by playing for years and trading up in to them! By buying cards smarter!" etc etc etc. He didn't seem to get that not everyone has been playing magic for a decade.

Errant Gin Monks posted:Also also I quite legacy when TCruise was running around so Lands was a T1 deck at that time when everyone else was playing Omni and Miracles. We can argue about it if you want but that was its prime time as a deck in my opinion. But the lands/miracles matchup is abysmal for lands with the new Karakas builds.

JerryLee posted:There have been one or two people in here who unjokingly defended the reserved list on the basis that they didn't want their "investment" to be revealed for the fairy gold that it was (my words rather than theirs, obviously). Guy at a local Prerelease said it was because "the reserved list is the only thing that keeps magic cards worth money" and said that "i worked, traded up, and bought smart for years to get into modern, other people can do that too" without a hint of irony.

So in upcoming set chat - Rosewater mentioned on his blog that poison was the mechanic with the longest return time - 15 years not including TSP - but that another mechanic was returning within the next few years (0-3) that *might* take that record. e; It's explicitly not banding. So, what could it be? This is the stuff in the right time range - Cumulative Upkeep 2006 (10 years) - A contender, but 10 years isn't really close to 15. Plus, upkeep costs haven't really been a thing in general recently. Fading 2000 (16 years) - Possible, but last I heard they didn't like fading because players didn't notice that they were getting an undercosted thing, just that it felt bad that it didn't stick around. Madness 2002 (14 years) - Lots of really weird rules issues Recover 2006 (10 years) - Again, 10 isn't 15, but has interesting graveyard synergies. Ripple 2004 (12 years) - COOOOOLD SNAAAAAP Yeah no way this one is it but I can hope, ok? Out of all of these, rules issues aside, it does actually seem like Madness has the best chance to be the returning mechanic. I could see Recover or Fading as well but I'd place them below Madness in terms of player excitement for a returning mechanic. I just hope it's after processors rotate.

TheKingofSprings posted:Why? Those cards don't harm anything as it is. They're very swingy cards as is - you can completely disable a deck's ability to function because you happened to draw your sideboard card - and that effect is already why modern sucks as a format. If the 'solution' your deck has to another is "remove a card from being a play option" then you either A)Have it and win hands down or B) Don't have it and have no way to win
